Haru

Haru is an aircraft manufacturing company in Japan. Founded in 1933, the company manufactured planes for the Imperial Japanese Army during the Second Sino-Japanese War and World War II, but the end of the war led to it facing issues with production; the United States made it clear that Japan could not have a standing army to prevent another war. Isobe purchased Haru in 1947, and Haru became a subsidiary of Isobe. Haru moved on to produce passenger planes and non-combat military aircraft, and it moved away from its originally-military purpose.
